Successful Year in Minnesota
Pete Wingert (DSM, Region 2 – Minnesota)
As we wrap up harvest in Southeast Minnesota, it is exciting to look back at this year’s growing season. There were times this summer when we weren’t sure what the harvest had in store; however, as the season concludes we are seeing success. We have endured a lot of challenges but many farmers are being rewarded with a beautiful crop and are happy about the 2012 yield results.
I have spent a lot of time traveling the region to weigh corn, beans and take out plots in the past month. Corn plot yields have ranged from 180 to 250 bushel/acre and soybean plots are running from 60-80 bushel/acre. Thank you to all of those who put in the extra effort to plant plots in Southeast MN.
The picture below was taken last Friday evening as I took out a plot in Goodhue County.
As you make those last corn stalk bales and plow the fields in the coming weeks, I would encourage you to look over the Producers Hybrids yield results and product guide to begin thinking about the 2013 growing season. Both of these items can be found on our website at http://yourdealersite.thinkcaliber.com/. Now is a great time to schedule an appointment with your local Producers Hybrids dealer to talk about the exciting seed line-up they have to offer you, including the early order incentives!
Are you READY FOR MORE in 2013?
